Product Information

Insert and fix the pipe into the bend coming through the wall. This will either be into a compression joint or soldered. A drill and a 20mm drill bit (it doesn’t need to be 20mm exactly, but the pipe that needs to pass through the wall is 15mm wide so make sure it’s bigger than that) Measure the depth of the hole and cut a suitable length piece of 22mm copper pipe so that it is roughly 10mm shorter than the hole depth so that you have a 5mm inset at either end.

Choose a place to cut the pipes that has plenty of space around it and a good 100mm or so either side of the pipe so that you can easily get a T-joint in place. If you’re using plastic pipes, it’s really important that you use pipe inserts! You don’t need them if you’re using copper pipe. Just pop an insert into every end of the pipe that you use. Once you have chosen your install location the next job is to tee into an existing water supply pipe. This pipe will have to be cut to allow the introduction of the T-joint needed to branch off.Next, cut another short length of pipe to run from the isolation valve to a drain valve or drain plug. Fit the drain to the end of the pipe and then insert the other end into the isolation valve. Make sure any compression joints are tight and that you have used PTFE tape. We like to add one of these wherever possible as it allows you to drain down the outside tap pipework.

Yes. Basically, you can fit an outside tap anywhere. You just need to be able to run a cold water pipe to it. Outside taps are normally fitted on the outside wall behind kitchen sinks but can be fitted anywhere. How long does it take a plumber to fit an outside tap? Once you’ve made it through with the small drill swap for the large bit and then re-drill the hole from the inside. Once about half way through, go outside and drill out the rest of the hole. As said, this will prevent the large drill bit blowing a huge chunk off the face of the outside wall. Step 4 – Fit Isolation Valve and Drain Plug Position the pipework up to the T-joint so the end is up to the collar and mark a point on the wall for the pipe clip to fit. Mark and drill the fixing hole and then fit the clip to the wall using a screw and wall plug. Outside tap fitting can be very straightforward once you have done it a few times and you have the right tools and materials, but learning how to fit an outside tap the correct way is key.
